Wheel couriers & alloy wheel boxes - where to buy?

[Danith]

I've won some wheels on ebay and was agreed to courier them.
Now looking at couriers, they insist on fully enclosed boxes! But where the frig do you buy them from?
Bare wheels sending from Chelmsford to Warrington, BTW.

Can anyone suggest alternative methods or where to buy the boxes to send to this bloke?

Go on shiply and put in wheels and see if someone is passing by who can collect them for you mate

Tried that and had quotes of 70 odd quid! It's a good idea tho.

Just get 2 square bits of cardboard for each face of the wheel, bin bag over and tape the s**t out of it. Sent lots through Paisley freight this way.

They’ll cost 70 quid to ship if you’re insuring them - more by the time you’ve bought some boxes I imagine.

It's not for me to send, found some mint oem ep3 wheels but the guy is asking me to supply the packaging etc.
Might sack it off, cba. Wheels were only 90 friggin quid

I just arrange the freight myself and ask them to pack as above, if they wont then they get told to do one.

Yeah he was saying he'd be willing to wrap for a courier if I arranged, fair do's. Now saying I need to sort out the packaging so he's just putting them in a box and having someone collect. Ballache

Easiest way is Shiply

They're insured so if they f**k something then you can just nail them for it

 

[RichValver]

I usually just wrap in a bin bag and book with parcel2go. May be a bit more expensive that way tho as may have to book 4 separate parcels

Guys binned me off now. I couldn't be arsed doing it all for him 😂

Ta anyway
